0660 - R' Yoel Kahn 10 - Purim 5718 If the Rebbe Said it Must be True

00:01 The heimsch to the voice note from yesterday, I would like to mention that there's another nekuda that the Rebbe said to Rabbi Eli then, and he told it to me, and that is that when they were repeating to the Rebbe parts of the farbrengen from the second half of the farbrengen, so in the middle, the Rebbe stopped him and he said, "Where is the moket of them? Where is the source for this inyan?" And they said, "That's what the Rebbe said." So the Rebbe said, "If that's what I said, then we'll find the moket." And Rabbi Eli explained to me that if the Rebbe said it, then it's definitely true, especially if he said it in such a matzav the way he was then. And the way he explained it to me, really, it says in the Shalah, but he didn't quote me the Shalah, but I'll quote the Shalah, and that's the teiche that he explained to me then. And that is, the Shalah writes like this, that this that we find by kdoshim asher ba'aretz, holy people in the world, sheshosu lapomem harbeh yesem hadai besudas kedais, that they drink much more than you should at these big sudas, choysek avonasem bezel hashem shamaim, their kavona was Hashem shamaim, ki mateich mishta hayin havem vat chatuvah, because by drinking wine, they became much happier, u'mateich cach imrim divrei Torah al hashalchan harbeh meod. So they would say divrei Torah on the table very much, the kiflayim lehishei, even double. De'mateich simcha megalah chocham

01:22 razai hateira, because through simcha, they reveal the secrets of the Torah. Ki birbeis hasimcha yischazek kacheich hasichli sheyesh benefesh, because the more simcha there is, the kacheich hasechel of the person that's in the nefesh grows stronger. Ve'azo yesem uchon legalis talumis chochma, and then he's more ready to reveal the hidden parts of the chochma. Like it says, nichnas yayin yotza sod, when the wine comes in, the secrets come out. So the Shalah teaches, sheal yedei mishne hayayin, when you drink wine, yetzodivrei Torah nikra sod, the divrei Torah that's called sod will come out. And what it means to say that when they drink, it gets deeper into the nefesh, and secrets of the Torah come out that otherwise they wouldn't say. And as it seems from here that sometimes they don't even realize what they said because it comes from the depth of the nefesh. So this is what Rabbi Eli was telling me. So when the Rebbe says something in such a matzav, that means that it's even a higher madrega, and definitely it's true. Besides the fact that anything that the Rebbe said is true, and this reminds me of something that happened earlier. In Tov Shin Chav Gimel, the Rebbe, in the weeks between Pesach and Shavuot, every, every farbrengen that there was, he explained the Mishnah and the perek of that week. Then later that year, the Likutei Sichos came out. It wasn't called Likutei Sichos. It was called Teichein U'nyonim. There was a likut every week. So in the second

02:42 cycle of Pirkei Avos that year, one of the sichos that the Rebbe said six weeks earlier was given into the Rebbe to Bemagiah for the Teichein U'nyonim, for the Likutei Sichos, which later became Chelek Daled, in Chelek Daled. So when they gave the Rebbe the sicha to Bemagiah that he said six weeks before, so the Rebbe crossed out a few lines of words that he said in that farbrengen. Okay, crossed it out, so it was out. Then they gave it into the Rebbe a second time to Bemagiah after it was set up ready. The Rebbe put those lines back. And Shabbos, at the farbrengen, the Rebbe explained it. And the Rebbe said that he said these words, but when it came to Bemagiah and he saw these words, he realized that it's not uzgehalten, that it's not true. And he explained why it's not true. But then he says, he started thinking to himself, "Since I said it borabim in public, in front of a minyan, in front of kamat sires miYisrael, it definitely must be true." And I started thinking, and I realized it is true. And the Rebbe explained why the thought that he had before that it's not true is not so, and really it is true, and he says, "That's why I put it back." So we see from here that when the Rebbe said something and the way he said it in public, but we know even if it's not in public, it is definitely true, no matter what. So

04:00 we may hear when the Rebbe said that if I said it, then it is true, but especially in the matzav the way it was there, the way the Shalah explains that then comes out even the secrets of the Torah, then definitely it's true, and definitely there is a moket for it in Torah.
